THE GOVERNOR OF BALI

THE WELCOMING ADDRESS

OM SWASTYASTU

I am greatly honored that Bali has been decided to be the host of the Parliamentary Forum on Sustainable Development 2017.

On behalf of the Government of Bali and my people, I would like to express the warmest welcome to Bali to you all. I also like to take this opportunity to cordially invite you to participate in the conference. I believe that Bali with its unique socio-cultural heritages and a large number of traditional and cultural attractions will make the conference more enjoyable.

Bali island has a variety of places to visit such as rice fields, beautiful panorama, mountain soaring through the clouds, activities and tourist attractions, dense tropical jungle, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, crashing surf and friendly people who are not just have a culture but actually live here, community daily rituals and a lot of things that make your vacation unforgettable. Some of the best surfing beaches in the world can be found on the west side of the island while the opposite side of the east is a beautiful paradise for families, with beautiful white sandy beaches and gentle seas.

To this end, may I assure you once again that your visit are certainly would be more enjoyable with every warm hospitality and a genuine welcome from the people of Bali who are proud to have opportunity to show their heritages and living cultural heritages to the world.

We certainly are looking forward to welcoming you in Bali, not only for this event, but also for the subsequent holiday enjoyments with your family for the years to come.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti Om.
